The synopsis revolves around bullying. The drama/movie starts with the suicide of the bullied student. Bit by bit, their surrounding try to undercover the truth behind this seemingly happy student. Also, Kim Yoo Jung plays in both.

The setting is similar between those two : high schooler boys who compete into sports that are considered "feminine". They'll go through their problems and overcome prejudices thanks to their friends.

- Same setting about the protagonist being part of a cheerleading group in high school
- Each member face hardships and self-doubts...
- ... which they'll go through thanks to their peers !

- It revolves around a high school student who seems to be a bad boy/bad girl by his/her behaviour and physical appearance
- Both are uninterested students, but something happens and make them change their minds
- They will make a flip side and try their best to enter the college they want
- Both teachers are passionate and root for them
- Inspirational

- The FL decides to make a career into the Japanese political sphere
- She falls in love with one of her co-workers and mentor
- "Honjitsu wa, Ohigara mo Yoku" is more politics-centered while "Revenge girl" is lighter.

Both are refreshing shows about Japanese families' old businesses and traditions far from Tokyo, with romance involved ;). They also try to avoid clichés.

- 1st lead is given a second chance in life and will live it fully
- FL is discreet and lacks confidence at the beginning
- University life
- ML and FL have known each other from previous schools
- ML encourages the FL in her growth ...
- ... and falls in love with her in the process
- Both shows are about self-acceptance and going through prejudices

While watching "Gekiryu~Watashi wo Oboete Imasuka?", I felt the same bittersweet feeling with "Piece". The plot is similar: former friends from high school try to resolve an accident which occurred many years ago. Step by step, layers are shown, prejudices and lies are revealed. During this journey, they will question themselves about the meaning of their present lives and learn about each other. "Piece" has more mystery, "Gekiryu~Watashi wo Oboete Imasuka?" is more focused on the people’s lives.

Female leads are highschoolers, who have no interests in studies before time-traveling in the past. The atmosphere is light-hearted and funny. Both have cute and fluffy romance with female leads hiding their gender. While one drama is Japanese, the other is Korean.
